C320 – Missing

Posted on December 15, 2018 by AzureOrchid92

The next morning, Su Gu called Shao Xuan to go together to the animal pen again to enslaved the other fighting beast.

After a night’s rest, Su Gu was eager to give enslaving the scorpion a try. For two days, he did not go to fight in Beast City and his heart was itching unbearably. However, as long as he enslaved that scorpion smoothly today, tomorrow, he could take them to fight in Beast City and gamble again.

The inner pen was still the same as yesterday. There was nothing unusual. Knowing that Su Gu was coming to enslave the beast today, the slaves who take care of the beast pen have been waiting there.

Shao Xuan looked around. Since they came to this piece of land, he never saw the king of Luoye City. It seemed that every king’s whereabouts would always let the people wonder. Even when he had been inside the city so many times, Shao Xuan just saw the small slave owners of each city, but did not see any king. Perhaps, until the opening day of the Beast City Colosseum, they wouldn’t see the any of the kings showing their presence.

The movement inside the animal pen turned Shao Xuan’s attention back. Over there, the slaves have joined forces to keep the scorpion restrained, especially the few slaves of Su Gu to show their strengths. Although they have limited power, their attitude was sufficient enough to get a brush of Su Gu’s goodwill, and have an early release of the locks in their bodies.

When the scorpion was restrained, its tail was bound, while Su Gu just went up and began to enslave it.

This time, the slavery took a little longer than yesterday. Even if the scorpion has been enslaved, Su Gu, at the end of the ritual, still appeared to be weaker and full of sweat.

Behind him, the slaves hurriedly took a towel wet with water to wipe off Su Gu’s sweat. The other slaves also did their duties, taking care of this young master. Seeing that there was no stool, there was even a slave who cleverly kneeled directly on the ground to let Su Gu sit on his back.

After resting for a while, Su Gu’s face was a lot better. He then stood up to go see the scorpion at a closer distance.

Unlike yesterday with the lizard fighting beast, the scorpion’s temper was obviously a lot worse. As Su Gu got near, the scorpion’s tail went up again, though towards Su Gu, the thorn was down, but it was still threatening.

Shao Xuan looked puzzled. “You have enslaved it successfully, right? Why is it still so defensive on you?”

Su Gu was not angry because of the scorpion’s behavior, and instead, his eyes actually lit up. Hearing Shao Xuan’s question, he said, “The stronger the beast, the harder it will obey. All the more it behaves like this because I have enslaved it using other forces rather than by the strength of my own body to make it surrender.”

“Is there a difference?” Shao Xuan questioned.

“Naturally, there is. It’s certainly different for the slaves to be forced into slavery when they are defeated directly. The riding beast of my father, the king was defeated then enslaved, so even if the great beast was very powerful, it listens to my father.” Su Gu pointed to the scorpion in front of them. “And like this, I successful enslaved it, but it will be in a rebellious mood. However, it doesn’t matter as long as can stabilize it and have it be obedient at some point. Then, it will stick to me once the battle of the beasts was on the line.” Su Gu said confidently. “Later on, I will be stronger and will have others surrender to my strength!”

Although the scorpion still had a little resistance, but compared to yesterday, it was much better. It showed fear to Su Gu, especially when Su Gu stretched out his hands with blue flame, it was even more fearful. It was just that its vigilance was no different than yesterday when it saw Shao Xuan.

Su Gu walked around the scorpion and tested it. He felt that if it was in a fight, the scorpion would have a bigger chance of winning than the lizard beast yesterday.

Since he placed high hopes on the scorpion, Su Gu naturally gave more care to its breeding. When he wanted to test it, he would also look for the slaves in charge of this beast pen to inquire.

There were slaves all around Su Gu, some to protect him, to prevent the scorpion from suddenly attacking, while some were called by Su Gu as he asked questions.

Shao Xuan did not join them then. He found a dung ball inside the animal pen which was much bigger than the other little beetles’ and there was something else on the dung ball.

Shao Xuan looked closely and found that the ball wrapped with some insects, like yesterday’s ball wrapped with sand ants. But the bugs that were wrapped in this ball were not sand ants but other bugs that live underground.

Looking around, Shao Xuan finally saw a little blue figure under a pile of twigs.

It was good that it knew to hide. Ii was just that, it had hidden but left a ball that was too conspicuous. Fortunately, the slaves who take care of the animal pen did not pay attention to these balls.

That being said, the insect-wrapped ball was really made by the beetle. But when did this beetle switch to eating bugs?

It probably became aware of Shao Xuan, hence the beetle moved to his side.

“Shao Xuan, what are you doing over there?” Su Gu asked. He didn’t go that way though since it was too dirty over there.

“Nothing.” Shao Xuan also retreated. He did not want to be near these wastes of a bunch of beasts so he didn’t stay long.

“By the way, three days later is the opening of the Colosseum. You can follow me in.” Su Gu and Shao Xuan talked about some things to pay attention to during that time.

Shao Xuan took notes as it was prudent to stay safe while in a place full of slaves and slave owners.

After returning to the house, Shao Xuan repeated what Su Gu said to Lei and Tuo.

The next day, Su Gu got up early in the morning. He planned to take the lizard fighting beast out to fight with people. He then sent a person to call Shao Xuan’s group to go together, but Shao Xuan didn’t plan to go out today. He wanted to practice in the house to unlock the turtle’s shackles. Although he had seen Su Gu actually doing the unlocking of a slave, but he still couldn’t grasp it so his was more of a simulation. With Su Gu’s explanation, there was no chance to practice his simulation. The beast masters were mostly slave owners and his would be detected.

However, even when Shao Xuan did not go out, Lei and Tuo were very interested in the happenings outside. Staying in the house for two days and not walking freely nor go out when they heard that Su Gu went out, they were more piqued. Looking at the beasts was only second, and they just wanted to go out to know more of the other beasts. In Beast City, there were a lot of beasts that they have never seen before, and observing them more could make them know more of these beasts.

After the other people have left, Shao Xuan listened to the movements around. Once he was sure that no one was close to the door, he recalled resulting power fluctuations and methods Su Gu did when he unlocked a slave and began to simulate.

However, somehow, Shao Xuan’s simulation today was not smooth. There was always a certain part with an error.

After repeated failures, he was a little tired so he put out his power, then Shao Xuan sat on a stool, feeling unsettled. Maybe because he couldn’t concentrate, hence there were repeated mistakes.

In the afternoon, a slave from Su Gu’s side came to Shao Xuan’s room and asked Shao Xuan about Lei and Tuo who came with them.

“What happened to those two that nobody saw them?” Shao Xuan asked hastily.

“A dispute happened not long ago. When it finally calmed down, the young master cannot find those two, so the master was also angry.” The slave said with displeasure.

Hearing so, Shao Xuan ignored the other’s tone and thought of Dao Yu who went to Beast City as a slave.
